LONG TERM
(Monday night through next Saturday)
Issued at 302 PM EDT Sun Apr 12 2026

For this week, ridging will continue to be the dominate feature across the southeast states. This will keep low pressure systems well west and north of the area, and continued warm and dry weather is expected with worsening drought conditions. Highs will gradually warm into the upper 80s to lower 90s late in the week as the mid level high sets up in the Gulf with lows warming closer to 60 degrees by mid week. High temperatures may approach record highs towards the end of the work week and into the weekend. NBM probabilities for MaxT > 90F remain medium to high for Friday and Saturday. Those probs range from 50-60% in our southeast Alabama and Florida panhandle areas to 80-90% in the Florida Big Bend and southwest Georgia locations. These temperatures would be approaching record highs Friday and Saturday.
